Abstract

In 2018 Blacks/African Americans made up 13% of the female population but accounted for 58% of diagnoses of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection among females. Studies show that women have always been underrepresented in HIV/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) studies, however, the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has further exacerbated the existing barriers in HIV research.
